Counting Thyme

My MG debut is coming from Putnam & Sons in 2016!

The novel follows
11-year-old Thyme Owens, who moves from San Diego to New York City after
her brother is accepted into a cancer drug trial. There, she discovers
that hope can be found in everyday miracles: in first crushes, in
budding friendships, in school plays, and in a sister's love for her
little brother.

From time to time,
I also write short fiction, including flash fiction. I share some of
these stories on the blog. Others have been published on 1000words.org and in: Once Upon a Time, A Collection of Unexpected Fairy Tales. One particularly special piece, The Catch (winner of the Behind The Curtain Contest),
was produced as a short story film by the lovely Anna Meade of Yearning For Wonderland!
